The coaches will now be able to 'steal' eliminated contestants from other coaches twice during the battle rounds. As at the blind auditions stage, if more than one coach wants to steal a contestant, they will get to choose which coach's team they want to join.

Meanwhile, an extra knockout round has been slotted in between the battle rounds and the live shows, where hopefuls will perform a song of their own choice. The coaches will then take half of their competitors - five acts - through to the live shows.
